Worth noting: Microsoft owns LinkedIn, which wouldn’t be particularly affected by KOSA.
There’s a hearing on Wednesday, and potentially a Senate vote soon, so if you’re in the US now’s a good time to contact your Senators. https://stopkosa.com and EFF’s page make it easy!
I also wouldn’t put it past them to be thinking of ways they can take advantage of identity verification schemes. The idea of everyone needing to have Microsoft Authenticator installed to verify their age for any site they want to visit must make them salivate. Makes me wanna puke that they’d get away with it, too.
Yep. There’s money to be made here!
